Re: tradies banned from pubs?
Man & Crocodile were never meant to live together in harmony, it would seem.
With the tradies, it's really all about the 7pm curfew and "dress standards". They aren't being "banned" as such.
Having said that, I do get annoyed by some of the dress standard rules and regulations over here. (even though they are much more relaxed than in the UK).
As an example - you can't wear a hat/cap in a surf club.
Also, the whole "rubber thongs" thing. Why is ok to wear them up to a certain hour, but after that, you are breaking the rules?? Yet leather thongs - they are ok. Women's sandals - no problem.
Why are rubber thongs and late night drinking incompatible in so many places?

Note to trades:
carry some clean clothes in your ute and you'll be sweet for the pub after knock-off.

Re: tradies banned from pubs?
) , its real handy for a pint at lunchtime and its good for a sunday session. Other than that its basically a backpacker doss house which serves the worst pizza's in Christendom.Its no coincidence this has been done at the start of the dry season when its getting busy enough to not need the people who come in the rest of the year. Will change for certain come October.
